Dancer leads students to competition win
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
West Windsor resident Smita
Patel, nicknamed Miki Aunty
by her students, is arguably the
reigning queen of Indian dance
in the central New Jersey area,
but she doesnt credit herself
with her students successes
such as placing first and third at
the prestigious FOGANA dance
competition this July.
They worked very very hard,
and thats how they won, I think,
Patel said.
Patel is the founder of, and
teacher at, India Performing Arts
Center, a non-profit organization
where she teaches a wide variety
of Indian dance, from classical In-
dian dance to folk dance to Bolly-
wood dancing.
Patel hasnt always been a
dance teacher. She grew up in
India, and was familiar with the
folk dancing styles of her region
I was always a good dancer,
Patel said but studied science in
school, and after coming to the
United States found a job with
Johnson & Johnson.
Deciding that her daughter
should be exposed to Indian
dance as part of her culture and
heritage, Patel began teaching
her and her friends traditional In-
dian dances. Soon Patel was
training kids to compete, as well
as volunteering as cultural chair

Dance Pe Chance competition in 2010.

The West Windsor Sun
On Tuesday, Sept. 4, the West
Windsor Arts Center will host the
first of a series of play readings.
The readings are sponsored in
part by the arts center and in part
by the NOW Theatre Company,
and will feature readings of plays
by local playwrights, including
NOW Theatre Company founder
Lynne Elson.
Elson founded the NOW The-
atre Company with local actor
Scott Langdon last year, when the
two decided to take charge of
their careers.
Wed talk about how we could-
nt wait for someone to choose us,
pick us, Elson said.
Instead of waiting to be cho-
sen, Elson and Langdon decided
to form their own company that
could put on and help sponsor
plays.
We should have called it the
impatient theater company,
Elson said.
Elson has been writing since
she was a teenager, but her career
as a playwright was born from
her experience in acting school at
the State University of New York
at New Paltz, where Elson found
herself making changes to her
lines while acting.
I was making stuff up on
stage, Elson said. I realized I
should just write it myself.
Elson is now an award-winning
playwright whose plays have
been performed at the Great Plat-
te River Playwrights Festival and
the East Brunswick Performing
Arts Center, and whose mono-
Arts groups join together for
first in series of play readings

New exhibit at West Windsor Arts Center
Memory of Here, Memory of
There: Fertile Crescent Dia-
logues features six New Jersey
artists born in Tunisia, Egypt
and Israel who communicate
with and comment on the world
around them.
This exhibit at the West Wind-
sor Arts Center is part a multi-
venue series of programs show-
casing the work of Muslim and
other Middle Eastern women
artists, filmmakers, and writers,
and their contributions to art, lit-
erature and film. The exhibit
runs from Sept. 2 to Oct. 12. An
opening reception is from 6 to 8
p.m. on Sept. 8.
Fertile Crescent shows how
artists, filmmakers and writers
help clarify dialogue on con-
tentious issues and provide new
perspectives; and stimulates con-
versation and instills pride in the
cultural heritage of New Jersey's
growing population from the
Muslim and Middle Eastern dias-
pora.
Participating artists include
Emna Zghal, Nadia Ayari, Dahlia
Elsayed, Milcah Bassel, Samira
Abbassy and Armita Raafat.
Samira Abbassy was born in
Ahwaz, Iran, and moved to Lon-

from Canterbury College of Art,
she began exhibiting in London.
In 1988 she moved to New York to
help to set up the Elizabeth Foun-
dation for the Arts Studio Center,
where she has a studio and is a
board member. Her work is

been acquired for private and
public collections. Her 2007 New
York solo show was reviewed in

It's taken a long time for you to ac-
cumulate your retirement assets. But
the need for long term care could
have a significant impact on them.
Perhaps you could easily afford 24
hour care in your home at $73,000 a
year.
But the question is: Do you want
to? What happens if you buy a long
term care policy and never need care?
Or would you rather enjoy those
assets yourself--or leave them to your
children or favorite charity?
I may be able to help you protect
your assets from long term care
costs.
I can suggest some innovative ways
to help protect your retirement assets,
and your retirement income, from the
costs of long term care.

do to your retirement assets?

The following were taken from
reports on file with the West
Windsor Police Department:
On Monday, Aug. 6, at 3:34 p.m.,
Patrolman Loretucci was dis-
patched to the Home Goods at 201
Nassau Park in response to a re-
port that loss prevention was
struggling to detain a shoplifter
there. Upon arrival, the
shoplifter, later identified as a 45-
year-old Plainfield man, was
being detained by loss prevention
and management. Investigation
revealed that the man left the
store with a shopping cart filled
with unpaid merchandise, valued
at $418.89, while two other per-
sons distracted the cashiers. Loss
prevention followed Gordon out
of the store and requested that he
return to the store. The man re-
fused and attempted to flee. Loss
prevention, with assistance from
management, was able to detain
the man until Patrolman Loretuc-
ci arrived. The loss prevention of-
ficer sustained a cut on his elbow
but refused medical treatment.
The man was placed under ar-
rest, taken to headquarters, and
processed for the arrest. The man
was issued criminal complaints
for robbery, shoplifting, and sim-
ple assault. During processing, it
was determined that the man was
wanted by the Union County
Sheriff's Office and he was taken
to the Mercer County Workhouse.
Bail was set at $50,000.00 for the
West Windsor Charges.
On Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 12:49
p.m., police were dispatched to
the Kohl's Store at 200 Nassau
Park in response to the report
that a shoplifter had left the store
and was being followed by loss
prevention. Upon arrival, Patrol-
man Bollentin located the
shoplifter, later identified as a 54-
year-old Trenton man, walking in
front of the Target Store. The
man initially provided Patrolman
Bollentin with a fictitious name,
date of birth, and address. Inves-
tigation revealed that the man
had taken a pair of Nike sneakers
valued at $74.00. He was placed
under arrest, taken to headquar-
ters and processed for the arrest.
Once his true identity was estab-
lished, it was determined that the

I
f you purchased your house before
2007, youve probably endured
about five years of misery. Your
home probably isnt worth as much as
it was back then. The housing market
has been kicked around, the news al-
ways seemed to be bad and getting
worse, and people had to wonder if the
downward spiral would ever end.
Well, maybe it has.
Zillow reported last month that the
second quarter was a good one for
home prices. They actually went up
year over year. Not a lot, but up is bet-
ter than down.
And, considering the economy has-
nt exactly been on fire, the news is es-
pecially promising.
If the trend continues, its great
news for the economy.
From a purely practical standpoint,
rising values can free up equity (al-
though it might take awhile to get peo-
ple right side up on their home val-
ues). Then, homeowners can begin to
tap that equity to make repairs, pay off
other bills, etc. And when people spend
money, jobs are created.
It also would be a boost to the nation-
al psyche. A homes worth long has
been a kind of security blanket for
families. Over the years, there had
been ups and downs in the market, but,
again, over time, home values steadily
increased. There was a confidence that
you could always rely on your biggest
investment: your home.
That, of course, all changed about
five years ago.
Thats not to say that all will be well
by next Tuesday. The glut of foreclosed
homes, the negative equity many
homeowners still have and the like will
continue to weigh on the market. Were
not seeing a dramatic, sudden turn of
fortune. But the kind of sustained
growth Zillow reported definitely beats
the alternative.
At the least, maybe homeowners
have seen the worst of the housing
storm. Maybe they begin to regain a
little confidence in the future of their
home. Maybe they can relax. A little.
in our opinion
Out of the basement?
After years of declining prices, housing market looks to be headed up
Housing prices are up
Homeowners have been waiting for five
years or more for the news that was
released late last month: Housing
prices are inching up. Maybe the worst

and ambassador for a number of Indian
festivals and events in New Jersey and
New York.
We saw the need for our kids who were
born and brought up here to preserve the
tradition (of Indian dance), Patel said.
But after having recurring problems
finding places for her class to practice, it
became clear that Patel needed a more per-
manent situation.
The parents asked me, Why dont you
form an academy? Patel said.
So Patel quit her job to focus on her true
passion: dance.
I gave up my really good profession,
Patel said. I told them I cannot balance it
with teaching the kids. I am not regretting
it at all. This has been so rewarding for
me.
The dance classes and competitions are
not just about dance, Patel said. She has
seen many close friendships and business
partnerships form, and has even witnessed
marriages brought about through the
classes.
In 22 years Ive seen everything, Patel
said.
This July Patel saw her adult dance
team consisting of 12 adults 30 years of
age and older win first place in their age
group at the FOGANA competition, a na-
tional competition for dance from the Gu-
jarat region of India (FOGANA stands for
the Federation of Gujarati Associations of
America).
The team began practicing about eight
weeks before the competition. For four
weeks the team held practice only on Sun-
days, but as the competition neared, they
began holding practice on Fridays and Sat-
urdays too.
Kalpana Patel (no relation to Smita
Patel) was part of the winning adult team.
Kalpana had put her daughter in classes
with Patel, and had always wanted to par-
ticipate in a competition, but somehow
never found the time until this summer.
Kalpana grew up dancing freestyle Indi-
an dance, but, like all her teammates ex-
cept for one, didnt have experience in cho-
reographed dances of the type required in
the competition.
Like Patel, Kalpana soon realized that
the experience was not just about dance,
but about connecting with people, both on
the team and at the competition.
Its about meeting new people,
Kalpana said.
The FOGANA competition took place in
Dearborn, Mich., which the dance team
reached by bus after an 11-hour drive. Even
the drive was a big part of the experience,

College students urged
to apply for vote-by-mail
As college students prepare for
the start of a new academic year,
Mercer County Clerk Paula Solla-
mi Covello reminds them not to
delay requesting a vote-by-mail
ballot for the upcoming presiden-
tial election.
College students are urged to
apply now to vote-by-mail if they
plan on not returning home to
vote in November. The 2012 presi-
dential election is predicted by
many to create a record surge in
vote-by-mail applications at the
Mercer County Clerks office this
year.
Do not wait until October to
get your vote-by-mail ballot appli-
cation processed if you are going
away to college. Do it now, before
you leave for school and avoid un-
necessary delays, said Covello.
Voters interested in obtaining
a vote-by-mail application in per-
son may visit the Mercer County
Clerks Elections Office, located
on the second floor in the Old
Courthouse, 209 South Broad
Street, Trenton. Hours are from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Prospective
voters may also visit the Mercer
County Connection located in the
Hamilton Square/Acme Shop-
ping Center on Highway 33 and
Paxson Avenue in Hamilton
Township. The County Connec-
tion satellite office offers evening
and Saturday hours for the con-
venience of Mercer County resi-
dents. Voters may also find vote-
by-mail applications and voter
registration forms by visiting
www.MercerCounty.org and
going to the section labeled
County Clerk.
Forms are available in both
English and Spanish.

tion mailed to you, the telephone

other and for meeting each oth-
ers spouses, some of whom came
along to help with the competi-
tion.
Of course, Kalpana enjoyed the
dancing as well. As a choreogra-
pher, Kalpana said, Patel uses tra-
ditional dance movements and
steps, but in a creative way
She takes a unique approach,
Kalpana said. Theres a lot of
movement that goes on.
Patels choreography, com-
bined with the hard work of
Kalpana and her teammates,
earned the group first place
among teams in their age group
from all over the country. The
teams inexperience made the
win that much more thrilling.
A lot of them had never
danced before in their lives,
Patel said. Its a very good feel-
ing for them, even more than for
me.
Kalpana agreed. We were true
underdogs, she said.

and sculptures weave together in-
tricate structures, patterns, and
motifs of Islamic and Pre-Islamic
Iranian architecture. She intro-
duces an ornamental form trans-
formed by the culture, history
and politics that produced it, and
translates it through the lens of
her personal experience. Raafat
received her BFA from Al-Zahra
University in Tehran, and com-
pleted her MFA at the School of
the Art Institute of Chicago in
2008. Her work has been featured

Barnard College 1992, received
her MFA from Columbia Univer-
sity in 1994, and lives and works
in New Jersey. Her practice focus-
es on the relationship between
image and text, specifically how
language shapes landscape. Her
paintings, installations and
prints synthesize an internal and
external experience of place, con-
necting the psychological with
the topographical. She pulls ideas
from conceptual art, comics, car-
tography and landscape painting
and employs symbols of hard
datatext, geologic forms, geo-
graphic borders, signs/markers,
coastlines, tide schedulesto
frame the ephemeral. Her work
has been exhibited at galleries
and art institutions throughout
the United States and interna-
tionally. Her work is in the public
collections of the Newark Muse-
um, the Zimmerli Art Museum,
Johnson & Johnson Corporation,
and New Jersey State Museum.

man had outstanding warrants in
West Windsor Township and
Lawrence Township. The man
was issued criminal summonses
for shoplifting and hindering his
own apprehension and taken to
the Mercer County Workhouse.
A West Windsor resident at
Winterberry Way reported that
unknown person stole the tires
and rims from his 2010 Honda be-
tween 9 p.m. on Aug. 7 and 9 a.m.
on Aug. 8. The victim reported
that he found his vehicle bal-
anced on two cinderblocks. The
tires and rims were valued at
$1,000 in total.
On Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 7:43
p.m., police were dispatched to
Larrys Sunoco on US Route 1 in
response to the request of the
business owner to conduct a wel-
fare check of a female who was
locked in the bathroom there for
over 30 minutes, and not respond-
ing to knocks on the door. The
first officer to arrive, Patrolman
Silcox was also not able to get any
response. Upon entering the bath-
room, Patrolman Silcox observed
the female, later identified as a 26-
year-old East Brunswick woman,
with a hypodermic needle and
drug paraphernalia in her posses-
sion. The woman was placed
under arrest, taken to headquar-
ters, and processed for the arrest.
She was issued criminal sum-
monses for possession of a hypo-
dermic needle and drug para-
phernalia. The woman was re-
leased on her own recognizance
and given a court date.

mately 5:08 p.m., a Suffolk Lane

logues have been included in an
anthology for student actors.
Elson, who lives in East Wind-
sor, got involved with the West
Windsor Arts Center early on in
its existence, excited that the area
now had a venue for the arts.
I call myself an honorary
West Windsorite, Elson said.
Along with Elsons play, A
Blessed Unrest, the play reading
series will also feature plays by
local playwrights Ian August, Jim
Christy, and EM Lewis, writers
Elson befriended through the Pas-
sage Theatre Company in Tren-
ton.
Its a chance to show off the
talent we already have in the
town, Elson said.
A play reading is the tradition-
al first step for a new play, Elson
said, as it is an informal way for
playwrights to see their work
come to life, and to get feedback
from the director, actors, and the
audience.
This is the first time seeing
our stuff up and out of the com-
puter, Elson said.
Hearing their lines spoken by
actors also helps playwrights
fine-tune their work, without the
distraction of costumes and sets.
You can hear when things are
clunky, Elson said.
Readings vary in formality
some are basic, round table af-
fairs, while others are more pol-
ished, using props and blocking.
The readings at the West Windsor
Arts Center, Elson said, will be re-
hearsed and staged, which will
make them more interesting for
audience members.
A reading also gets members of
the community interested in the
plays and eager to see the final
product when the plays make
their debut, Elson added.
Were hoping the audience
will love them and come see the
full productions, Elson said.
The NOW Theatre is still seek-
ing actors for the readings. For
more information on auditions,
contact Lynne Elson at
lynne@lynneelson.com or call
(732) 491-5404.
The readings will take place at
7 p.m. on Sept. 4, Sept. 25, Oct. 2,
and Oct. 30 at the West Windsor
Arts Center at 952 Alexander
Road in Princeton Junction. Tick-
ets are $5 for members of the arts
center, and $6 for non-members.
